Does breast augmentation affect fertility?

Nowadays, more and more women want to have fuller breasts to make themselves look more curvy. If you want to enlarge your breasts, the most effective way is to use technology, such as surgery or injections. Therefore, breast augmentation has been accepted by many women and the results are obvious. However, for many young girls who have not yet given birth, the biggest concern is whether breast augmentation will affect childbearing.

Will breast augmentation affect future breastfeeding?

Breast augmentation is generally performed by implanting breast prostheses. The appropriate size, width, and slope of the breast prosthesis are selected based on factors such as the patient's age, occupation, cultural quality, chest shape and width, body shape, height, and individual aesthetics. The choice of implantation site is very important. The incision for breast augmentation surgery is generally made in a more concealed area. Currently, the commonly used surgical incisions are the incision around the areola and the axillary incision.

Retromammary space implantation is the process of placing a breast prosthesis under the superficial breast tissue of the pectoralis major muscle. The operation is simple, causes little damage, and the position, appearance, and touch of the breast augmentation are all very natural.

Subpectoralis major implantation is the placement of breast implants deep into the pectoralis major muscle, which can reduce the chance of implant damage and fibrocystic contracture. The gap separation is accurate, with little bleeding and easy separation. However, when separating to 1.0 cm near the edge of the sternum, care should be taken to avoid damaging the intercostal branches of the internal thoracic artery, otherwise bleeding is likely to occur.

These two sites are chosen for implantation because they are located behind the mammary gland, which protects the mammary gland from being affected by the implant. Even after giving birth, it generally does not affect women's breastfeeding.

Correct breast augmentation surgery will not cause any harm to the breast. Since the prosthesis is placed behind the pectoralis major muscle, the breast will not be damaged, and breast development and milk secretion will not be affected. Therefore, breast augmentation surgery will not affect your future feeding of your baby. Unless the method is wrong, the operation is rough, the mammary ducts are damaged too much or postoperative glandular infection occurs, it is possible to have an impact.
